2. Add the diced chicken, lentils, stock, curry powder and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to low and simmer, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are starting to fall apart and the chicken is cooked through.

Really straightforward and simple recipe! Quick to make, and delicious! I made it because I had all the ingredients already at home, no tricky or unusual ingredients. I put it into the oven once it was boiling to cook and it worked just the same. It's a good recipe if you have children.
